be creative, have fun

valentines, “gal”entines, or “pal”entines

Have you gotten supplies for Valentine’s Day yet? I’ve had it on my mind, looking at all of the edible and non edible options, but I didn’t commit to anything until this morning. I find that keeping it simple makes every holiday more fun for me with kiddos. Look at how cute keeping it simple can be!

I always start by finding a pack of party toys. I looked through an Oriental Trading catalog, but decided I didn’t want to risk cutting timing close with shipping. I might try that next year! Here were some options I found at my closest store.

The next step is to come up with a clever pun or corny compliment:

you’re pretty “sharp”–pencil sharpeners (hot item in classrooms where kids aren’t allowed to get up to sharpen pencils!!–so I hear!)

you’re all-“write”–pencils

I think you’re “fly”– toy airplane

We’re so “mint” to be–mints

you make my heart “saur”–toy dinosaurs

you’re the coolest thing on wheels–mini skateboards, toy cars
